"An endlessly fascinating book...."
--Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times "Mahoney's characterizations are masterful. She impeccably re-creates Hellman's friends and the emotions they summoned up in her younger self."
--Los Angeles Times Book Review "Rosemary Mahoney...brings to her memoir the shaping and insight and sheer good writing we expect from a work of fiction."
--The New York Observer "This brave and heartwrenching book is the final evidence that, as far as writers go, Mahoney is the real thing."
--Newsday
